8. CONCLUSIONS
The author concludes by listing important points of this study.
・The passage planning system, which is one of the countermeasures answering the requests of vessels and port operators, was proposed.
・Standard maneuvers, which a model of maneuvers by expert mariners, were investigated.
・Algorithms to generate the passage plan automatically were developed.
・Simulation results of the passage planning system show that the system can reproduce the passage plan which the expert mariners plan usually.
・Results of the simulator studies with the real-time maneuvering information support system based on the passage planning system shows the good tracking performance and the efficient maneuvers by the operator.
・By using the system, a large effect to increase safety and economical efficiency on port management is expected.
